2. homophobia is rampant everywhere.

Jan 2019

It surprises me how many of us who may not even think they have issues may hold some attitudes that are really not cool. Having a lesbian teen with many bi, gay, and trans friends, I have had to reteach myself how to say or approach certain topics...and I'm pretty chill

I am shocked by the vitriol even displayed by these kids' own families: deadnaming them to their face, forcing them to be "normal" to other family members and friends, refusing therapy or even talking about transitioning...so much more, it's sad.
